Review of The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985)

Once again, Allen brings us a sweet and complex female character in the lead role facing the adverts of a relationship.
Most of the time of during the movie we see a romantic and idealist romance between the protagonist and a fictional character from a movie the gain life out of the screen (!!!), and later, the guy who interprets the character also joins in, making it a bizarre love triangle.
The innocent love between them makes a cool and sweet romantic comedy, but this isn't one of Allen's favorite movies for nothing! The last 5 minutes of the pictures are simply superb, and show us the true complex of this fabulous work. Not only a study about romance, but also about art and the cruelty of daily life.
This isn't my favorite Woody Allen's, but definitely is one of the most complex works of him, specially thinking of how much he could pull out of a 80 minute movie.
